Circadian rhythm Although most people tend to think that manifestations of body function such as temperature and blood pressure are constant throughout the day‚ the fact is that many functions change in cyclic patterns – especially those that are affected by hormones‚ such as cortisol. These daily fluctuations‚ or circadian rhythms are fundamental to all organisms‚ from bacteria to humans. Circadian rhythms help coordinate and synchronize our internal body functions‚ as well as our interactions

The syndrome developed in three stages. 1) During the Physical stage (first 6-48 hours) all stimuli produced the same physiological triad. - Enlargement of the adrenal glands. - Ulcers In the digestive system. - Shrinking of the immune system. 2) If the treatment was continued‚ the appearance and function of the internal organs returned practically to normal. 3) With continued treatment‚ after one to three months

Blood Water Homeostasis or Osmoregulation Osmoregulation is the process by which the body regulated the osmotic pressure of any organism’s fluids in order to keep the homeostasis of the organisms’ water level constant. Therefore osmoregulation is used to keep the bodily fluid from being too diluted or too concentrated. An osmotic pressure is used to measure the ability of water to move from one solution to another solution through osmosis. Osmotic pressure refers to tendency for a liquid solution

These areas help the bodies regulate temperature (Homeostasis) and controls Pituitary Gland (Hormones) just to name a few.

Aldosterone and Hormone Replacement Therapy Aldosterone falls in the class of hormone called mineralocorticoids‚ produces by the adrenal glands and is found near the kidneys. It sustains blood pressure‚ water and salt balance within the body. This procedure is assisting the kidneys to preserve sodium and excrete potassium in order to maintain a balance. If Aldosterone production falls‚ there isn’t enough regulation of salt and water balance (as aldosterone is being lost through urination) triggering
